PREFACE These guidelines were created in 2015 by the graphic designer with the goal of creating a more cohesive, iconic, and distinct brand identity for Lonely Distillery. This style guide is intended to assist members when creating publications, poster designs, social media campaigns, and all other promotional or marketing tools for the public sphere. While the standards outlined in this guide should be strictly followed, it is also a living document that may be appended at the discretion of the graphics team and executive board in order to ensure the brand’s continued alignment with the developing needs and goals of the distillery.

THE BRAND’S VOICE
TONE OF VOICE Engaging » Witty » Playful » Direct
Lonely Distillery’s personality is a solitary figure that represents an emotion everyone experiences at one time or another, loneliness. His snarky remarks and commentary are his way of suppressing the emotions within. He’s a straightforward, tell it like it is type of guy in the way he acts and speaks. The language is never on auto or formal. It is richly flavored, different and thus very unexpected.
8
The inspiration for Lonely Distillery’s brand and tone of voice came from by research online, in the library, and from the world around us. Paintings, illustrations and photography were used to determine the color palette. Loneliness is not a commonly shared emotion. People cope with it in their own way, which is referenced by the hand rendered letterforms. The silhouette figure that replaces the ‘n’ represents the human connection to the emotion. This Brand Book shows the process of creating an identity for Loneliness.
